"No timeline has been given for when the centre will open
or when migrants will start to be sent there."

Well since it was previously used to house illegal immigrants, it shouldn't take too long to get it operational again. OTOH, since most of the illegals detained so far have been flown back to their home country and with countries all over falling into line following what happened to Columbia (even China abjectly said they'd take their people back), it might take a while to get to the 30,000 figure.

Of course, since it was previously used to house illegals by a Democrat (Bill Clinton), people like Foxy will try very hard to not know that.

"It's all part and parcel of the MAGA movement's intense
fact aversion and widespread resistance to observing
the truth and reality."

Coming from Foxy, that's hilarious. Earlier in this thread she told us to get "facts first" only to link to an article which was completely erroneous.

More good news....Trump's pick to head the US EPA. Lee Zeldin, has been approved, with three Democrats voting to support Trump. Maybe now this out-of-control agency can be made to serve the needs of the US rather than the fantasies of the UN.

It is not necessary to distort “Trump’s views” to classify him as an illiberal, authoritarian, populist, or imperialist. It is sufficient to compare the precise description of each of those qualifiers with what Trump says and does.

They do not apply to “almost every president since Teddy Roosevelt”. However, there are a number of presidents in the world today to whom they do apply, e.g., Orban in Hungary, Erdogan in Turkey, Milei in Argentina, are current populist presidents of their countries, to name a few.

Some considered Obama to be a populist but later accused him of not keeping his promises :
